\"Doolittle<\/a>On April 18, 1942, sixteen B-25s launched from carriers on a one-way bombing raid over Japan. The physical damage it caused might not have been all that significant but it delivered a much needed lift to moral in the United States and prompted some rethinking and altering of plans by the Japanese commanders. Four of the surviving raiders continue their week-long reunion today and tomorrow in Dayton, Ohio. On Tuesday and Wednesday, airplanes like the ones that made the raid were on hand at the reunion. I was there both days and have an Oddment entry here<\/a>. Pointing to that entry and providing a place for comments are the primary reasons for this blog entry but…<\/p>\n

…I also revisited a couple of interesting eating establishments.<\/p>\n

\"Hasty<\/a>\"Hasty<\/a>Breakfast<\/a> was at the 60 year old Hasty-Tasty Pancake House<\/a> just a couple of miles from the Air Force Museum. I’ve eaten here before but don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it in either a blog post of a trip journal. A wonderful Dayton eatery where the waitresses that don’t call you “Honey” call you “Sugar”.<\/p>\n

Many of the B-25s headed back to Urbana after the flyover and so did I once the memorial service had concluded and traffic cleared a bit. Several of the planes are staying at Grimes Field<\/a> for a day or two and there is a nice museum<\/a> that includes a DC3 cargo plane you can climb inside. I took pictures there that could have been included in the Oddment page but I feared that would be overkill.<\/p>\n

\"Crabill's<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Crabill's<\/a>Crabill’s Hamburgers<\/a>, at the west edge of Urbana, is even older than the Hasty Tasty although it has moved once. I did mention it when I stopped last summer<\/a> and none other than David Crabill praised crisp hotdogs. I resolved to try one on my next visit and this was it. Andy cooked the ‘dog just right while I downed my dinner<\/a> then the friendly but unnamed (Oops, sorry.) waitress obliged me by putting relish on just one half so I could taste it both ways without buying two. The Tootsie Roll is the reward everyone gets for cleaning their plate<\/del> waxed paper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
